We asked for Open System Click to edit Master subtitle style Open Data Open Access Open Platform What now?

The web is rapidly becoming a platform consisting of services and API:s Click to edit Master subtitle style Machine 2 machine communication stands in the centre Worldcat API, XISBN, Library Thing for Libraries , LIBRIS Xsearch, MetaLib | Aleph X-server, SFX API, Ebsco Host Integration Toolkit, ISI Web Services, Amazon, SRU/W, RDF | Linked Data, Google Code, Flickr API, Yahoo! Developer Network … … …

By exploring web services and new technology we gain first hand experience making us stronger customers and development partners By introducing other services into our OPAC the local collection is displayed in a broaderClick to edit Master subtitle style context The OPAC turns into a small federated search service, rich in functionality and content, seamlessly integrated with the library webpages Strategy is to present library resources in a single thought through structure and presentation BUT ALSO to identify key services and make them available outside the library website

What is a Web service? “A Web service is a software system designed to support interoperable machinetomachine interaction over a network. It has an interface described in a machineprocessable format (specifically WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAPmessages, typically conveyed using HTTP with an XML serialization in conjunction with other Webrelated standards. “ // W3C definition Web services are frequently just Internet Application Programming Interfaces (API) that can be accessed over a network, such as the Internet, and executed on a remote system hosting the requested services. Click to edit Master subtitle style // Wikipedia – Web service

Journal services in JULIA SFX API - JCR Impact factor - Fulltext availability - Abstract availability - Table of Content U.K JISC : ticTOCs RSS service - Txt file converted into XML - Bundled with SFX API query - If a feed is found it is parsed and results are presented as sample of Click to edit Master subtitle style articles latest Prototype Javascript DOM parser and AJAX PHP backend for XML parsing and format

SFX API http://link.libris.kb.se/sfxjon?sid=ALEPH:JUL01&issn=$issn&sfx.response_type=simplexml &sfx.response_type=simplexml Click to edit Master subtitle style

//Make the call to SFX and load results $xml = simplexml_load_file($openurl); //Targets base $Base = $xml>targets; //Loop through results and present selected targets foreach ($Base>target as $target) { if($target>service_type == 'getCitedJournal' ){ echo "<li><a href=". $proxy.$target>target_url .">Search for ". $target >target_public_name . "</a></li> "; }if($target>service_type == 'getFullTxt'){ echo "<li><a href=". $proxy.$target>target_url .">Fulltext available from ". $target >target_public_name . "</a></li> "; subtitle style Click to edit Master }if($target>service_type == 'getAbstract'){ echo "<li><a href=". $proxy.$target>target_url .">Abstract available from ". $target >target_public_name . "</a></li> "; }if($target>service_type == 'getTOC'){ echo "<li><a href=". $proxy.$target>target_url .">Table of content available from ". $target>target_public_name . "</a></li> "; } }

The story behind this implementation, so far… I hear things about an SFX API from friends [network], I go to the Systems seminar in Tel Aviv and learn more [conference], I get back home and code up the Embedded SFX lookup in ALEPH OPAC plugin I upload it to EL Commons after some tests [open platform] Click to edit Master subtitle style At the same time, somewhere else …

Bill Dueber, systems librarian at Michigan University Libraries, asks for a tab delimited text filesubtitle style his [blog], Robot Librarian Click to edit Master for ticTOCs in Terry Bucknell announces on Code4Lib [email listserv] that they are working on an API but that a tab delimted file is now available for use, he references the Robot Librarian

Peter van Boheemen at Wageningen UR Library Loads the data from ticTOCs into their XML based CMS Creating an API by accident…. He writes about this in His [blog] WebQuery@Wageningen UR I read it and get intrigued. I knew [Network] Peter from the Ex Libris Developers meeting in Jerusalem [conference] I ask him [email] if I can use their ticTOCs API, he says yes and I create a test service. Works fine. Peter can’t guarantee long term usage. I decide to create my own API, download txt file, convert, Click to edit Master subtitle style set up and implement After testing it for a couple of months in production my code is uploaded to EL Commons

Did you mean …? Click to edit Master subtitle style

"; }

xml = simplexml_load_file($request); $description = $xml>Result; if (empty($xml>Result)){ echo "Yahoo! has no suggestion for you"; }else{ foreach ($xml>Result as $suggestion) { $suggest = $xml>Result; $suggest2 = http_build_query($suggest); Click to edit Master subtitle style $suggest3 = str_replace('0=','',$suggest2); echo "Yahoo! suggests you try <a href=http://julia.hj.se/F/?func=find b&request=$suggest3&find_code=WRD&adjacent=N&x=53&y=1&con_lng=eng>$ suggest</a>"; }

EL Commons provides a platform for sharing, developing, co-laboration, documentation, alerting and discussing thus creating an unique community We have open access, data, systems and a open platform it is time to start sharing and see what happends Click to edit Master subtitle style

Ex Libris to edit Master subtitle style Click Commons is not about sharing code It’s about sharing and developing ideas
